About this trial
This study evaluates the impact of a psychological group intervention aimed at promoting well-being and social connectedness among university students. The intervention is part of the UNIST-HEALTH (PRO-BEN) initiative and targets students enrolled at the University of Padua. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a waitlist control group. The intervention consists of six weekly group sessions focused on psychoeducation and experiential activities designed to enhance the quality of social relationships, reduce loneliness, and improve psychological well-being. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, post-intervention, and at a four-week follow-up.
